P: Better Preset Organization (sub-folders, tag, search)

This would be a GREAT solution ! ADOBE LISTEN AND MAKE THIS A very SOON JDI!

Wow that's handy. I can't believe I didn't try/know that! Thanks a lot, PECourtejoie!

Pim, you do work with a Tablet? I ask this as the numbers in the keyboard allow to change the opacity in a very fast way.

Good ideas above.

Also, a small thing, if you right click when using your brush, you can change brush size, hardness and the brush itself. It'd be handy if the opacity was included also.

I'm using CS5, so sorry if it's already fixed in a later version.

Had a longer post screw it. Didn't know there was an imposed word limit. *cough*

Nicely done, though a few users have asked for things such as search, meta data update, and though Adobe has outright said no, a few users have asked to do away with the preset manager so we can manage the brushes and so on in the brushes panel, make a folder on the fly, rather than have to go up to the edit menu, which would work much like the action panel does now. (i.e. Less clicks to both update the strokes spacing presets at the same time as naming the brush. There is a Brush palette for fiddling with spacing, etc... but you won't be able to manage folders, name, etc on the fly? You have to go to a separate menu? Redundancy is good, but do it right.t remember what they look like. Solution.

Here is my two cents.

about brushes preset manager:

it would REALLY be helpfull to have slots for categories names (with color like layer groups properties) that we could name the way we want: like "rocks", "paint", "clouds", "vegetation", "water", "patterns"...so on ... just before brushes that falls into those categories...

add a little option that would automatically classify the brushes by their common names as long as there's the same part of how it's named in it
it would be a huge gain of time ...

also a "best" category on top of it all that duplicates "X" (specificated number) of the best brushes that are used most often ...

(another option would also classify in each category the brushes position in term of how many times they are used)

the option to classify brushes horizontally or vertically) (brush preset or richt click ,not preset mananger)

an option to detect duplicate brushes (whatever the size) and compress it by deleting the doubles...

a recycle bin for deleted brushes...

a big view on the selected brush...

here's a quick mockup:
(of course on the brush preset when painting, the category name will have a line for itself and the brushes would be on the bottom or right next to it (depending of the choise to display them : horizontally or vertically)

@Chris Cox (the Adobe Employee here):

Why do you block all this ideas off?
Have you any idea of what digital illustrators, painters need?
and NO, the brush preset manager is not everything we need!

We need custom panels to organize brushes AND tool presets in groups, with multiple options to label them or present them!

Everyone who works a lot with brushes feels it is a pain to manage all the tools you need!

photoshop is very outdated when it comes to this!

take a look at any other digital painting software! all of them make it better then photoshop because people need it!

I feel like Chris Cox is the bottleneck here. He doesn't forward our ideas to Adobe because he thinks they are not needed......

I'm an intensive photoshop user, and any improvement would be already be something...

Just for two cent, it's also a pain to accidentally suppress a brush, with the same shortcut as the colorpicker.

So please do something for it.
